Like in Big Dave's basement in Happy Endings, where Penny got rotary dialed

I had no idea what to write about this plane crash of a game, which by the end felt like a historical watershed moment. So I wrote about the Brewers' bullpen, their clubhouse bumper pool table, and acting like you've been there before when you haven't actually been there before

@baumann.bsky.socialOct 13, 2026, 4:46 AM

And to Caminero, no less! That's ballsy

@baumann.bsky.socialOct 13, 2026, 4:44 AM

I think you know I didn't watch this game and you're making things up to see what I'll believe

@baumann.bsky.socialOct 13, 2026, 4:22 AM

I haven't covered an NLCS live in a couple years so I'd forgotten that it comes at the cost of not knowing a fuckin thing about what's happening in the ALCS now what in the Pinellas County hell is this

Bad cell service

Well I guess I'm coming back here no matter what. Recap will be up before too long

I'm pretty surprised!

@baumann.bsky.socialOct 13, 2026, 12:20 AM

Damn! Harvey Kuenn's a tough guy to please

@baumann.bsky.socialOct 13, 2026, 12:12 AM

The Brewers lost that second game, by the way. Imagine Yuniesky Betancourt spotting you three runs and losing anyway.

@baumann.bsky.socialOct 13, 2026, 12:11 AM

David Hamilton is the third Brewer to score three runs in a playoff game, and if you think that's random, the two guys to do it before him were: Mark Brouhard (Game 4 of the 1982 ALCS) and Yuniesky Betancourt (Game 4 of the 2011 NLDS)

@baumann.bsky.socialOct 13, 2026, 12:08 AM

Guys, David Hamilton has been on base three times tonight, plus a fielder's choice, which is literally being on base while not statistically being on base.

@baumann.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 11:29 PM

With that run, this is now the highest-scoring National League postseason game of 2026. Jesus Christ it's only the sixth inning.

@baumann.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 11:25 PM

I thought Get Back was on Let It Be

@baumann.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 11:19 PM

What an inning for Get Back JoJo Romero. The Brewers are dominating time of possession

@baumann.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 11:07 PM

That's the kind of inning from Kris Bubic that'll get you left off the World Series roster, if the Dodgers make it there at all

@baumann.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 11:00 PM

Well, only one more to go!

@baumann.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 10:59 PM

If the Brewers want to win today, they'll have to score five runs in a playoff game for the first time since Game 2 of last year's NLDS

@baumann.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 10:54 PM

Teoscar getting his ass right in the way of the replay angle is what you expect from a savvy veteran

@baumann.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 10:48 PM

Logan Henderson is out of the game. He allowed one run on 64 throws to home and two runs on two throws to first
